Customer Reviews
Great insights on speech therapy and the realities of being a therapist!
Solid podcast
Director
The questions asked are very insightful.
The subject matter will be very encouraging to people with autism and motivate them to strive to accomplish all they can.
Having a professional speak with autism about their challenges and accomplishments will encourage and motivate others with disabilities to strive for their goals because they hear a person with autism who has achieved their own goals personally and professionally.
Professional & refreshing
Refreshing to listen to different people’s experience with developmental disabilities. Sometimes funny, sometimes encouraging - great podcast!
